Deadly Crash on US 41 in Gibson County

By John Szink Nov 3, 2026 | 7:03 AM

One person is dead and another hurt after a multi-vehicle crash on Monday night in Gibson County.

It happened around 7:30 p.m. on US 41 at County Road 1250 South.

Investigators say a car heading east on County Road 1250 South pulled into the path of a pick-up truck heading north on US 41.

The truck hit the cara broadside, sending it across a ditch and into the Pilot Truck Stop parking lot, where it struck a parked Amazon van.

Responders performed CPR on a critically injured driver, but that driver was pronounced dead at the scene.

A second driver was taken to an Evansville-area hospital with injuries that are not life-threatening.

Names have not been released.
